Additive Manufacturing Medical Devices
C-Axis provides additive manufacturing solutions that accelerate development and enable complex geometries not achievable through traditional machining. Our advanced 3D printing technologies support early prototyping, fixture creation, and specialty medical device components with precise, repeatable results. This capability allows customers to innovate faster while reducing development time and cost.
C-Axis provides additive manufacturing solutions that enhance design flexibility, reduce development time, and support the creation of highly complex features for medical device components. Our advanced 3D printing technology allows engineers to explore new design possibilities, validate concepts quickly, and produce functional prototypes with precise, repeatable results. By integrating additive manufacturing with our machining, finishing, and inspection capabilities, we deliver a seamless pathway from early-stage design through full production.
Advantages:
- Rapid prototyping that accelerates design iteration and reduces development cycles
- Ability to create complex geometries that are difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional machining
- Cost-effective early-stage development with minimal tooling requirements
- High-resolution printing for detailed, functional prototypes and component features
- Seamless integration with CNC machining and finishing for hybrid, production-ready parts
- Improved design exploration through fast validation of multiple concepts
- Support for surgical, implantable, and minimally invasive device components
Examples of Additive Manufacturing Projects
C-Axis leverages additive manufacturing to support a wide range of early-stage and specialty medical device needs. Our 3D-printed components help customers evaluate form, fit, and function while exploring design options that traditional machining cannot easily support.
- Early-stage prototypes for implantable, surgical, and minimally invasive devices
- Complex geometries and internal features that require lightweight structures or organic shapes
- Custom fixtures, jigs, and tooling to support machining, assembly, and inspection
- Proof-of-concept components used during R&D and design validation
- Low-volume specialty parts with unique geometries or rapid turnaround requirements
- Hybrid components that combine additive manufacturing with CNC machining or laser processing

We look at C-Axis 360 as an opportunity for our customers to save weeks of development time by having their project team come into our facility. Here they are assigned a C-Axis team (an Engineer, Technician, and Machinist) to work with to complete multiple iterations in one sitting, helping to improve the R&D timeline. Instead of doing things in series, our customers can do multiple potential design iterations in parallel and save six or seven weeks in their NPD cycles. — Olson
